Vintage 2019 | interesting experiment. Stephane Montez and Stephane Robert are vignerons-winefriends. Stephane Robert has a small plot (0,2 ha) in Cornas where his friend makes the wine and vice versa (0,2 ha) in Condrieu. At the Brabantse Wijnsociëteit we tasted the wines next to each other, thanks to @Rob van Kalmthout (🙏🍀). As always the opinions were very different. I do like this Cornas grom Montez, but prefer the Robert. In Condrieu I like the wine of Robert, but prefer the wine of Montez ☺️. This wine has a deep colour and a little sweetness at the first sip. The smell is rather shy, or perhaps the wine still too young? I taste cherry, this Cornas is very charming and with more elegance than Robert who makes a wine that needs more time. Well integrated wood. Love this experiment that shows an open mind of both vintners. — 9 months ago

Nose: vanilla. Spice.
Palate: delicious. Cherry fruit. Still some new oak.
